Itā€™s January 2026 and people are still talking through the Duke Miles hypothetical. I mean, live life the way you want I guess, but this seems like the most pointless discussion ever had on this website. Dude was committed to us for like three seconds and never even stepped foot in Charlottesville. And that comes from somebody who loves pointless extended message board convos.

Iā€™d rather chat about whether Kiheiā€™s fifth year or Kody Stattmannā€™s extended minutes were more responsible for destroying the Bennett era/college hoops/society writ large. Really anything else.

I, too, think Stattmanā€™s minutes were responsible for the collapse of society.

I made a joke that was so obviously making fun of how overplayed the Duke Miles chatter is - the conversation was over! - and then the response ended up being for a few folks to double down on Duke Miles talk.

This board is addicted. We canā€™t quit Duke Miles.

At the UNC game on January 24 we will be naming court, ā€œDuke Miles Honorary Court of What Could Have Been.ā€ I canā€™t wait to witness it.

Very few teams go 40-0. Im having fun. The loses happened. We are still on track to make the NCAA tournament and we might even win a game. Life is good (outside you know the impending civilization collapse and climate catastrophy).

Are we perfect? Far from it. Downright dumb at times. But that means we have even more room to improve and grow and its already fun right now

Remember when we had the hots for Pitino and Donovan Dent? Dodged a giant bullet there

Donovan Dent has hit 1 three pointer since November 3rd. Shooting 9% lol

Yes but with a better coach we obviously would!!!

Funnily enough, theyā€™d be better off with more of Trent Perry at PG with Dent on the bench.

UCLAā€™s players are mostly putting up quite solid offensive numbers, but their total output is only fine, because 25% of their shots during 78% of their minutes are being taken by a guy hitting 9% of his 3s, 44% of his 2s, and 60% of his FTs.

The thing that has me most excited about this team is that I really donā€™t think weā€™ve hit our ceiling yet. I think thereā€™s a lot of room to get better, and I think we have enough talent to do something fun late in the season.

Some other recent UVA teams I think maxed out early in the season/mid season and then just stagnated while other squads with more talent improved and made runs late in the year. This year I think we can be one of those squads. Not sure itā€™ll happen, but am hopeful.

Trent Perry is the Bruins 2nd best player - far better than Dent

Thankfully, we had real pros on the selection committee.

Those are Morsell numbers at UVA. Yikes.

Those coaches hadnā€™t coached together???

Yeah I was just noticing that. Put up a 30 piece against Penn State in their last game.

Trying to think but can you recall a worse shooting year than what Morsell put up in his first year here? Maybe Rohde in 2024?

Weā€™re talking historically bad shooting numbers given the volume
